As per Tuttosport in this morning's print edition, Paulo Fonseca is the chosen profile to lead the AC Milan team instead of Stefano Pioli who shall leave after the game against Salernitana this coming Saturday.
The former Roma head coach will be at Milan with a 2-year contract plus an option for a third year. His salary? The source talks about 3 to 3.5 million euros net per season.
Fonseca's duties:
The Portuguese tactician will have to address a few issues immediately once he lands in Milan. First, he must earn the trust of the fans. Then, he must work to resolve the problems around the several injuries which the team has suffered from during this season under the guidance of Stefano Pioli.
In addition to that, the new gaffer must also strengthen the defensive department of the Rossoneri as it conceded too many goals this season.
Another main objective for the former Porto and Shakhtar boss, and it goes without saying, is that he must work together with his team to try to close the gap between the Rossoneri and their bitter rivals Inter and compete for the Serie A trophy, without forgetting about the competition from Juventus. It will be a hard and complicated job for him.
